Whether or not it was the right thing to do is up for debate. But Mick gave up on that game. Perhaps the right long term move (injury to Cumberland in a game that would have been a long shot would have been devastating) or perhaps it was the wrong move, sending that message to your team. Regardless, it's what he did. |

Realistic about Cincinnati basketball? I wonder what are your expectations. Mine are (not in order of importance) to 1) Recruit in the top 3 teams of the league every year 2) Send players to the NBA 3) Not have NCAA sanctions 4) Compete for conference title almost every year 5) Make the NCAA tournament every year 6) Make the sweet 16 every 4 years 7) Make the Final Four every 10-12 years. I'll admit this is a bit of a stretch goal but it has to be a goal. That's what I want from my Cincinnati Bearcat basketball. |

There have been several plays like this in the last few games where he's not done some of the things he needs to. I'm not sure what's went on because he was great at the little things to. Not sure if it's fatigue, attitude or what but certainly something that needed addressed. |

Perfect, now that we are not calling things stupid, I'd love to have a discussion. My goals are very much like yours. (In no order). 1.) Continue to recruit at a high level, I will agree that we should in some classes try and recruit more offensive minded players to help balance the defensive minded team, we have seen that one elite offensive player doesn't work well over a 5 months season i.e Jarron Cumberland/ SK. I think players like Samari Curtis is a step in the right direction for that. Huggins was able to recruit elite recruits but still disappointed in March. 2.) compete for a conference championship every year, which we have done for most of our time in the American. 3.) No sanctions/ recruiting violations, which we have not had any to my knowledge since Cronin has been here. 4.) Graduate our players, which we are in the 90th percentile of graduating players (Jacob Evans is an obvious exception because he was a first-round talent). 5.) Make the tournament ever year, which we have not missed a tournament since 2010. 6.) Make a deeper run in March than past years. While I agree that it is by no means okay to become complacent and be just okay with making the tournament, there are many teams who would kill to have the success Cincinnati has had. As always everyone is entitled to their opinion and that is what makes discussing UC basketball fun. The season is not over, and I am personally excited for the tournament.

It is hard to be as bad as we have been in the tournament over the last 20 years. Even Dayton made an elite 8 1 year. You should luck in to a run every once in a while. At some point you have to think it is the system or the players.
